Another thought is get to as many different meets as poss. Last year I went to bat meets, bumblebee meets, entomology meets, plant meets and bird meets, I learnt from them all. I am lucky to have some very keen countryside wardens here who organise all these things....................Jon

Forgot to say..............I also went to a few moth meets too..............Great fun......................Jon
